Making the Kitchen Sink Unit

This is Thatch Cottage in the making...

Here are some more pictures of the inside before I filled
it with furniture...

Now for some furniture...

I wanted to make a Belfast sink, I remembered one from
when we moved into a old house when I was small.It was huge and we also had them at
school.I decided to make the sink from
clay.It was a bit fiddly but I managed
it.

Next was the sink unit.I wanted this to look as if someone had crudely built it into the
cottage so I set about creating a frame and to which I added a couple of
shelves.I wanted it to be left open and
have nothing but a curtain to cover its contents.I painted it an old brown colour and then
glued the sink in place.Then I stretched
a little wire across the openings and added the curtain, the wire meant I could
give the effect of a ‘dipping’ curtain.
